Belle and Judy are getting ready to lamb.
This was Belle a few weeks ago.
And this is Belle now...
By the looks of things she will be having somewhere between three and thirtyeleven hundred lambs.
Judy looks like she'll come in with one forty pounder as usual.
Her last baby, Jesse, was so big she came out walking, talking and looking for the feed sack.
We've also had a bushel of baby geese...
And a batch of cats.
We only kept one.
He's brown.
Wendy's baby named him Chocolate and licks him every chance he gets.
I can't call Wendy's baby the Neighbor anymore because they moved one town over.
It was really hard for me to see them go, but our beloved little house finally gave out and it's no longer cost effective to keep it up.
I came home to that little house when I was born, so it has a very special place in my heart and it makes me very happy that Wendy's Baby had a chance to live there.
And his parents too of course.
This is Wendy's Baby on the tractor last summer.
This is him on the tractor a few days ago.
And in deep thought with the dog beside the tractor.
I think Wyatt and I are finally winning the yard wars.
When my sister was here a few weeks ago she helped us get a good start on taming the jungle that was encroaching on us
And then taught Wyatt how to run the weed eater.
And now the yard looks like this...
All I do is ride the mower, but there's a lot to mow.
I'm making soap today, I'll get back to you on what kind I decide on.
Peas.

ReplyDeleteI love this entire post...except for having to see the neighbor move, that's hard to swallow and I know your pain. Andrea and Fletcher are moving to Iowa City which is only 20 miles south or so but it's not 10 blocks down the street so there's that...
ReplyDeleteI think we should move in with our kids and go wherever they go so we can look at their kids and give them toys when it isn't their birthday and cookies before dinner.
DeleteWe did after all, let them live with US for eighteen years.
Fairs fair.
